Wheels wheels and yes....more wheels.

[FrankA6]

Ok so i have got 3 sets of wheels already in the past 8 months, and looking for the 4th set, i got rid of my raderwerks, and have my eyes on a few different wheels, and the BBS LM reps are one of them, so what's your thoughts on them? i know i know, everyone hates fake wheels, but i really don't want to spend $1100+ a wheel just so i can go out and bend them, im not racing the car, i just want the look. So what do you guys think? 19x9.5 BBS LM Reps or go with my other choice of wheels, (which i didn't state *wink wink*) , let me know!

Leaving us in suspense about the 4th set huh?

I'm personally not a fan of that particular wheel, but I definitely see your point on not spending 1100+ per rim. If you're going for looks, then go for it man. Not to mention most can't notice a rep from an actual anyway unless they really examine the rim up close.

I'm having such a hard time deciding on a wheel, I'd be interested in seeing what you pick. The options in 5x112 are somewhat limited. I wish we were 5x100 or 5x114.5

[audirs]

the lms are nice, but you will need to run spaces to clear hp2 calipers, i think a 10mm. not sure how they work with the 2004s since i dont think they have hp2 calipers

[audirs]

also, what are you looking to spend on wheels, no tires?

The 2003 and 204 2.7T usually have the Girling calipers that use two pads per side. The LM reps should fit. Also, remember that he mentioned using a 19X9.5", that should clear the brakes easily.

[FrankA6]

Well i have a few sets of wheels in mind, as for now all i can say is im thinking of 19x9.5 WIDE! BBS LM reps , with about 2.5" lip, and the other 2 wheels have a 3" lip like my raderwerks and one has a 3.5" lip....so lets see how this works!

Oh and audirs , im looking around $1500-$2000 without tires, if i go LM reps i can get 5 wheels for under $1500 just to be safe if i bend one!

oh and no matter what wheels i get they will be custom colored...so somthing a bit new im working on! and some new body work for next summer!

[Gigi]

Can't go wring with LM's.. I saw a C5 A6 with LM's on... hot...
But I personally prefer the RSGTs or RGRs.

You want a lip It seems.

My friend is selling is LIKE NEW RH RAT 2 piece wheels with tires for $1600. They are 650/wheel new without tires I think.
Great condition. and great price. Unique wheel for an A6 unlike the BBS wheels.
Design goes great with A6 body lines.
I ahve pics somewhere I think.

Have you tried to find a set of LM Reps? I tried recently and found nothing... Gool luck sourcing a set of thoes.

There was a set in the classifieds here a few weeks ago... search the 19" wheel threads.. they are a few pages back.

[deucescorner]

I think LM will look sick, especially running 19X9.5. I think someone is going stretched!!!!!

The raderwerks were your current wheels! If so, I wished you had pmed me that you were selling them. Jumped on those in a second.

[FrankA6]

Well i did find about 7-9 sets of BBS LM reps, so im good to go with that, and deucescorner...sorry bro just sold them to a member on here about 3-4 days ago.

man those went fast

[wofman]

So let's start contest: what custom color scheme does Frank have in mind? I'm voting against powder blue, Frank.

[2.slowT]

Hell yeah! Powder Blue DO IT

[FrankA6]

Hell yeah! Powder Blue DO IT

Trust me, im thinking about it, and a few other colors as well.

[Gigi]

bronze

And




Pink lip !?:-)

[FrankA6]

good idea Gigi !!! lol

[VJ's A6]

Frank-- I would go with PINK lip and say WHEEL WHORE on the lip..

[FrankA6]

LOL , well im on the wheel-whore's forum, so should i get a pink heart sticker??? lol

[Gigi]

Here are my buddy's wheels for sale...
Never seen another A6 with them.

[FrankA6]

Well the RAT's are very good wheels, but not much of a lip and to be honest, i don't really like 5 spoke wheels on an A6 or any big car, but thats a great price for a wheel like that.

[wofman]

au contraire mon fraire -- a moderate lip is quite nice, no need to be excessive about it

[audirs]

i really really like the new VMR V710s. they are hot. no lip though

http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...13#post2515013

i think these will be my next wheels

[FrankA6]

well im ordering a set tomorrow , either the Lemans or another wheel i found!

[audirs]

whats this other wheel you speak of

[wofman]

shameless, shameless, shameless!!!

"...or another wheel i found!" -- just begging for somebody to ask about the cryptic reference.

"Oh, the other wheels, you ask? Did I not specify?.... Oh dear me, perhaps I should keep it a surprise?" shameless!


lol

Yo Warren.. You called little Frankie out.. I was wondering the same thing when I read his post..

[Kilo]

Are those Work Equips? They are nice wheels, but I dont feel they fit the C5 too well - they are very popular old skool japanese wheels.

[FrankA6]

well as you guys know, the lemans has a step lip and bolts around it, which make it look smaller than it is, the wheel im looking at, has no "fake" bolts and a straight lip, so i dunno, im going to pull the trigger tomorrow! i called, i may have to wait about 2-3 months to get either one :( then they are off to custom coloring.

Heres a picture of the Lemans , same wheel size and company IF! i get these.

[wofman]

haha -- more suspense builds ("IF!")

[FrankA6]

well i need the audizine approval before i buy anything! (as for the coloring im not sure yet, i still have 3-5 months to think about that! , ok so as i showed before, these are the wheels, tell which one you guys like best and think go with the A6 the best!

BBS Lemans Reps 19x9.5 35ET (2.5" step lip)5-15mm spacers in the rear


On a BMW


LC's CSL Style 19x9.5 35ET (3" straight lip) 5-15mm spacers ( i really like these alot! )


On a BMW (remember all 4 of my wheels will be the size as his rears)




and i must say i had these in mind at first, i don't know why, prolly the big lips but the same size as the others, i just think im going to pass on these. but anyways here they are.


on and Audi


but really let me know what you guys think, and again, which ever wheel i get it will be custom colored! peace.

[wofman]

I like 'em both -- probably pick #2 (CSL). Some will go for the little bolts for 2 piece look, but I prefer center portion without the second circle within the circle and without the step.

Nice look.

[FrankA6]

yeah im leaning towards number 2 as well.

[VJ's A6]

My choice is LC's CSL.

Frank-- Just am idea.. Staggered 2.5 front and 3.0 back..

[FrankA6]

nah i don't want staggered, 19x9.5 all around with 10-15mm spacers in the rear and stretched tires :) yummy

[wofman]

what size tires?

[FrankA6]

235-35-19 , or 245-35-19 , not sure!

[Gigi]

#2 For The A6 Is Better Imo

[FrankA6]

i agree, and thats what i think im going with
